Amazon has purchased book sharing startup Shelfari according to posts by Read/Write Web and TechCrunch last night.
The startup, which has one of the most interesting & funky user interfaces I’ve ever seen, is essentially a social networking & book sharing system for those that love to read.. like me!
Shelfari’s team makes the formal announcement on their blog:
We’ve got some big plans ahead. With more resources and Amazon’s expertise in building a platform where people come to share ideas, there are a lot of new opportunities in the future that will benefit each of you. In the meantime, you’ll continue to have access to the great community and tools that you’ve always known and used on the site.
